Perandus league
In the wake of the Cataclysm, the locations of the kingdom's stolen treasures, secreted away in caches throughout the land, were lost to record and tale. Of the Perandus family, only Cadiro remains alive, forever sustained by his devotion to Prospero. He wanders the countryside in search of his lost caches, eager to reclaim them and their riches.
The Perandus league and Hardcore Perandus league are the current challenge leagues. They began on March 4 2016 with the launch of the Ascendancy expansion, and will last three to four months.
The league is based on the Perandus family, which controlled much of the Eternal Empire's wealth. Although the empire was destroyed by the Cataclysm, Cadiro Perandus had managed to hide its treasures in secret caches around Wraeclast. These caches appear randomly in zones, but in order to open them players must defeat all of the guards. Players can also encounter Cadiro himself, who will offer an item in exchange for Perandus Coins. Perandus coins can only be obtained by opening caches or trading with other players.
Characters that die in a hardcore league are moved to the permanent standard league.
